“Once upon a time there was a boy named John and he always used to sit in the corner.”
Once upon a time there was a boy named John and he always used to sit in the corner. One day there came a girl and a man to John's house. There were three more sons in this house along with John. This girl ordered a special room for herself. No one could go this room only a person that could answer every question that she would put out. One day John said to himself, I will go down to see if I could answer any of them. His mother told him to not go down for he was too dirty, but he went down after all. She started putting out questions on him and he answered every one of them. That evening she said that she would marry him so John said all right. She bought a new suit for him and dressed him up, so the both of them got married and they lived happily from that day to this.(continues on next page)- Collector
